National varieties of English[edit]
Hello. In a recent edit to the page Problematic smartphone use, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.
For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the first author of the article used.
In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. Wracking talk! 22:34, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
- The above message was semi-automated– this one comes directly from me to you
- I thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia, and recommend you check out the Guild of Copy Editors if you'd like to join our little copy-editing community! If you're experienced in copy-editing off Wikipedia, I recommend you check out resources that pertain to Wikipedia's Manual of Style (it's long, and you don't have to read it all at once). I found this page especially helpful when I was starting out: Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/How to. Wracking talk! 22:43, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
